Installation

„I do not accept the idea of having a fixed position, the way I perceive myself is through my embarking upon endless new beginnings.“

My works occasionally emerge on the principle of brainstorming, while, at times, they emerge on the basis of my research work, by reading or watching films... and then they result in the form of short videos, performances, drawings, paintings and ultimately in the form of spatial installations. They deal with identity and/or critical views of art and of the history/theory of art.

As of lately, my work has been related to memory - both to my own and the collective memory. The basis of my research in the domain of memory may be found in the theoretical works of Giulio Camillo Delmini („Theatre of Memory“) and Frances A. Yates („The Art of Memory“), which I am trying to use as the starting point for my own artistic concepts. My idea is to tell, in a minimalist and simple way, the stories that can be read by observers both as biographical and engaged (historical, sociological, political and critical...). The concept of memory is somehow linked with utopia, which is an idea that somehow permeates my whole work.
